The Flying Fish Stables is a charming country pub located in the sweet village of Windmill Hill. It’s a delightful spot where you can enjoy hearty home-cooked meals and a great selection of real ales, all while staying in uniquely designed rooms that have their own character. If you’re planning to explore, Taunton is just 15 km away.

This place isn’t just a pub; it’s about 18 miles from Lyme Regis and the stunning Jurassic Coast, making it the perfect base for your adventures. The Flying Fish Stables has earned a well-deserved 4 stars from the AA, which speaks volumes about its quality.

The rooms are designed like a cozy stable block and feature power showers, separate baths, and complimentary toiletries – pretty nice, right? You’ll also find Smart TVs, free WiFi, hairdryers, and handy tea/coffee making facilities. Plus, every room is conveniently on the ground floor, complete with full facilities for disabled guests.

Having been featured in The Good Pub Guide for 13 years straight, you know this place is doing something right! You can savor traditional British and Caribbean dishes paired with local ales. Don’t miss out on the delicious cooked breakfasts served daily. And when the weather’s nice, the leafy garden and sun terrace are ideal spots to unwind.

Need to bring your furry friend along? We’re pet-friendly, just keep in mind that there’ll be a small extra charge.
